As a coach, you’ve got a million things on your plate; training plans, game strategy, keeping your team motivated. But here’s one thing that’s easy to overlook: your team’s uniforms. They might seem “good enough” for another season, but outdated or worn-out uniforms can quietly drag down team spirit and even performance.
Wondering if it’s time for a refresh? Here are five telltale signs your team uniforms are ready for an upgrade:
1. They’re Showing Their Age (and Smell)
If your uniforms have faded colors, loose threads, or permanent stains that won’t budge no matter how many times you wash them, it’s time. A sharp-looking uniform signals professionalism and pride, while worn gear sends the opposite message.
Tip: Look out for stretched-out collars, peeling logos, or fabrics that feel rough. These are signs the material has run its course.
2. Sizing is a Mess
Over the years, players change, but the uniforms stay the same. You’ve probably had to roll up sleeves, pin waistbands, or watch a player constantly tugging at their jersey mid-game.
A proper fit isn’t just about appearance, it impacts movement and confidence. If you’re seeing more size improvisation than uniformity, it’s time to re-measure and reorder.
3. The Design Doesn’t Reflect Your Team’s Identity Anymore
Maybe your team name changed. Maybe your logo got an upgrade. Or maybe you just feel like your current design doesn’t match your team’s personality anymore.
A uniform is more than clothing, it’s your team’s badge of honor. If the current look doesn’t fire up your players or fans, let’s fix that.
4. Reorders Are Becoming a Headache
If it’s getting harder to find replacement pieces because your design is outdated or discontinued, you’re probably spending more time than you should trying to patch things together.
Starting fresh with an updated, consistent set makes reordering a breeze and keeps your team looking sharp season after season.
5. You’ve Got a Big Season Ahead
Whether you’re moving up a league, celebrating a team anniversary, or just want to kick off the new season with energy, a new uniform can set the tone. It signals a fresh start, and your players will feel it.
Bonus: Parents love photo-worthy uniforms. Just sayin’.
